Most homes do well with windows cleaned every four to eight weeks; businesses with customer-facing windows, or homes near busy roads or trees, often benefit from a more frequent round.
Location makes a real difference. Windows near a busy road pick up traffic grime faster; homes surrounded by trees deal with sap, pollen and bird droppings more often; coastal properties get salt residue that builds up faster than inland homes. A shopfront or office relies on clean windows for how the business presents to customers, so a monthly or even fortnightly round is common for commercial premises, while many homes are happy with a round every six to eight weeks.
Frames and sills collect grime just as much as the glass does, and are often skipped by a quick DIY clean — a proper window clean covers both, not just the glass, for a result that actually looks finished rather than clean panes surrounded by grubby frames.
A regular round tends to work out easier than one-off cleans booked irregularly, since windows cleaned to a schedule never get bad enough to need extra work to bring them back up to standard. Properties near busier roads in and around Preston, or homes further out into rural Lancashire exposed to more weather, often benefit from a slightly more frequent round than the general guide above.
